Sad Spinster by Night

Today I reread one of my previous entries titled "Teacher by Day." Everything positive that I described in that entry is still very much true. I still love my internship and probably more so every day. My studies can be quite overbearing, especially now that our practical research is coming up (eewl Statistics!), but manageable. Parttime jobs are not as easy to fit into my schedule as they once were, but I find some time here and there so that I can keep saving for all of our wild plans. Family and friends are also good. The only problem that I have right now is that my boyfriend is unbelievably busy! It's quite depressing - he gets up every day before I am awake and goes to bed each night hours after I've fallen asleep. I am lucky when I get to spend two minutes with him in between brushing my teeth and changing my clothes. When he isn't in the Hague doing his thing, he is always either working behind his computer or making calls on his cell phone. I feel for my best friend, whose boyfriend also has an iPhone and all sorts of other gadgets. Luckily Jochem doesn't have any of those, but his behavior still disturbs me. Once he asked me to edit two pages out of one of his many reports, and I almost fell asleep due to pure boredom. Of course I don't have to understand his academic ambitions all the time (which I don't). All I need to know is that he's happy doing what he's doing - I mean, he should be doing exactly what he loves to do right now. And, since I am kind of counting on him to support me and my big plans in the future so that I can continue making a pittance doing what it is I love to do, I can only complain so much. With which I'm done now. After all, after rain comes shine. Even when you live in the Netherlands.
